Taiwan Deliberation on Utilizing AI to Enhance Information Integrity
On March 23, 2024, Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Affairs, in conjunction with Stanford's Deliberative Democracy Lab and National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University's Institute of Technology and Society, conducted a national deliberation on "Utilizing AI to Enhance Information Integrity." Four hundred and forty-seven Taiwanese citizens met in small groups on Stanford's Online Deliberation Platform to discuss multiple policy options for how AI can be used to address false information, deepfakes, forged media, and other informational challenges under the four major topics:
(1) Which is preferable: strengthening self-regulation of large platform operators or strengthening government supervision?
(2) How should large platforms use AI to "analyze" emerging threats to information integrity?
(3) How should large platforms use AI to help users "maintain" information integrity?
(4) How should large platforms use AI to "enhance" information integrity standards?
